[quote=Anonymous]My inlaws live there; my husband grew up in northern DE.  Parochial school, or private school, seems to really be the norm in at least my small-ish sample size of upper middle class professionals.

I kinds like northern DE - it's very different from where I grew up (very rural and poor) and where I live now (DC urban).  To me, northern DE is just one vast suburb.  Southern DE - the beaches - is very different, much more rural.

I think it's not a bad place to raise kids, the geography is interesting and mostly pretty, so outdoor sports are good, and of course the beach is relatively close.  I think being Catholic might offer ways to fit in and make friends more easily.  You could do well with a big house and nice yard.  There is a lot of wealth in DE.  I think if we were ever to move there, I'd worry about my kids developing suburban ennui - my husband is full of those typical suburban high school stories or drinking and partying.

We've rarely gone out in Wilmington - there are nice places, but as other shave said the city really empties out after business hours.  [/quote]
